Naperville's Scott Huber: The Protester & His Story (RIP)

What does it mean to stand your ground? For Scott Huber, it meant living in a tent in Naperville for over two decades, a visible and unwavering protest against what he saw as the city's injustices.

Huber's story is a complex tapestry of personal conviction, legal battles, and the ever-shifting landscape of urban life. His presence, a fixture at the corner of Naper Boulevard and Ogden Avenue, sparked debate, legal challenges, and even acts of violence. He wasn't just a homeless man; he was a symbol, a lightning rod for discussions about rights, responsibilities, and the very definition of home. His journey, fraught with conflict and resilience, offers a stark look at the intersection of individual protest and municipal authority.
